Immigration Position of Trump Ignites Immigrant Charge to Acquire US Citizenship

The fear of the well-known Media Czar, and the Republican Nominee Donald Trump, looms large in the US and elsewhere. Many people in the US, especially the migrants, worry that he will become the next US president beating his rival Hillary Clinton. How to deny him the chance?

Well, several migrants reportedly believe if they can get the nation’s citizenship well in time, they can prevent him from triumphing over Hillary Clinton and becoming the next American president. So, it is hardly surprising that, as per the information brought out by the Associated Press, vis-à-vis the final months of the year gone by, citizenship petitions has headed north by 14% in the last six months of the previous year.

As mentioned before, there’s a real terror that Trump will storm to power and become the American President. And, with a view to prevent his quest for power, immigrants are submitting applications for citizenship facilitating them expectantly to cast their votes at the Presidential elections in the month of November 2016.

But, the road to getting citizenship is anything but simple even while several of those presenting petitions will allegedly be unable to become citizen in time.

Observation

What does Trump actually imagine? Or maybe, more significantly, what will he do in case he hits the bull’s eyes? The real estate magnate has disturbed so many individuals that it appears rather doubtful that he will ever get a shot at the top. He has saddened immigrants, minority groups, women…the list is long.

Though Trump enjoys the backing of several Republicans, he has also distressed numerous Republicans. In case he really becomes President–like with Obama–it cannot be denied that the US Congress will hardly permit him to perform his more acute plans.

There is also the likelihood that in point of fact he is a pretty liberal on the issue of immigration, and is only mouthing several of the extreme things he is stating only to obtain votes.
